Jonathan Zhao and Sean Lei are big winners of the CFC Grand Prix 2013-2014. All together they won $900 CYCC bursaries, $200 GP money, 8 trophies, 4 medals, 2 plaques and 4 T-shirts!

Jonathan started to play chess when he was in Kindergarten. Within a year, while he was still in Kindergarten, his CMA rating had reached 1000. He has been one of the top players of his age since then.

Sean came to Oriole 2 years ago with both CFC and CMA rating around 800. His CFC rating is now over 2000! His enthusiasm, sportsmanship, willingness to help….. made him our good role model at the chess club.

Hello Parents and Students of Seneca Hill Chess Club, Hillcrest Chess Club, and Oriole Chess Club. My name is Kyle and I have been playing chess at Seneca Hill for 6 years.
